Discontinuity (artificially) of The Thermophysical Properties of NIST affects the second law of thermodynamics：
1) Scientists create Type 2 perpetual motion machines;
2) Scientists have discovered new laws of phase transition.
3) Scientists don't need to create a bunch of fake things for the second law of thermodynamics.
The discontinuity (artificially induced) in the thermophysical properties of substances, such as temperature or pressure, can indeed affect the application of the second law of thermodynamics. The second law states that heat naturally flows from a higher-temperature region to a lower-temperature region, and this principle relies on the continuous and smooth behavior of thermophysical properties.
When discontinuities are introduced, it can lead to non-ideal behavior and deviations from the expected thermodynamic processes. For example, abrupt changes in temperature or pressure could result in unexpected phase transitions or heat transfer behaviors that don't follow the usual laws of thermodynamics.
Therefore, it's essential to maintain the continuity of thermophysical properties to accurately apply the second law of thermodynamics in various engineering and scientific applications. Researchers and engineers often work to minimize or correct such artificial discontinuities to ensure the reliability of thermodynamic calculations and processes
